Nerve stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device (taVNS) to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain. It may help people with chronic widespread pain who have not found relief from other treatments.

This trial tests whether a device that stimulates the vagus nerve (taVNS) can reduce fibromyalgia pain and other symptoms. You would do treatment at home twice a day for 4 weeks, with assessments to see how you’re doing.
This trial tests if a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. It is a potential treatment option for those who have had persistent pain for at least three months.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical pulses on the ear to stimulate the vagus nerve, which may help reduce fibromyalgia pain and sensitivity. You will not know if you are receiving the real stimulation or a placebo to ensure unbiased results.
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device worn near your ear to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain and improve how your body handles stress. It is a non-invasive treatment option that you receive while continuing your regular medications.
This trial tests if a gentle nerve stimulation treatment can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with fibromyalgia. It aims to understand how treatment affects natural pain signals.
This trial tests whether a nerve stimulation technique can help reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. It is open to women with a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia who have had symptoms for at least three months.
